Broadcaster MC Ding Dong (43), who was accused of running away after crashing into a police car when he was caught drunk driving, was arrested.
Seoul Jongam Police Station announced today (6th) that MC Ding-dong, who was charged with violating the Road Traffic Act (drunk driving) and obstructing the execution of special duties, was arrested.
MC Ding-dong was caught by the police near Hawolgok-dong, Seongbuk-gu, while driving in a drunken state around 9:30 pm on February 17th, but he is charged with escaping without complying with the request to stop.
He is also charged with threatening a police officer who crashed into a police car while fleeing and demanded a stop.
